You need to setup a lightning address on your nostr profile so that I can zap you 100 sats.

With Bitcoin, you must earn the right to buy more, through deep study. If your allocation of Bitcoin outweighs your understanding of Bitcoin, you'll end up selling at the bottom.

One tweet summary of what happened. It's ironic that the cause of the failure was that the bank parked a large part of its assets in the "most secure" instrument in the world, US treasuries.

Watching Vox videos is a lesson in the "Gell Mann Amnesia" effect. When watching videos on topics I know nothing about, I find the content nuanced and informative. For eg: I enjoyed and "learnt" from this video about myopia.

However, when I watch a Vox piece on a topic I know a little about, I'm surprised by how biased & frivolous their content can be. It's full of half truths and attempts to mislead the audience without using a heavy hand.

For eg: After watching this terrible piece on inflation, you will leave with a warm and fuzzy feeling about Biden and distrust of large evil corporations. However, you will learn nothing new about the cause of global inflation.

The tech is pretty rock solid. However self hosted rpi4 lightning nodes are still a bit reckless.
